Thyroid Disorder Treatment in NYC

The thyroid gland, located within the lower front of the neck, plays a key role in controlling the body’s metabolic rate through the production of thyroid hormone. Unfortunately, thyroid problems are very common. In fact, it’s estimated that more than 20 million Americans suffer from thyroid disorders, while up to half the world’s population develop thyroid nodules (or lumps). The good news is that thyroid disorders are very treatable, and the vast majority of thyroid nodules are found to be harmless. However, untreated thyroid dysfunction can cause a host of symptoms ranging from fatigue and weight gain to nervousness and heart palpitations. Additionally, 5% of all thyroid nodules are cancerous and must be treated. It’s critically important to have an experienced thyroid specialist by your side to help manage thyroid disorders and evaluate thyroid nodules.
